Sometimes people can even feel embarrassed by their own/native language in a context where English is dominant, such as tech. I wrote about that feeling here: http://code-anth.xyz/posts

I have a kinda weird perspective on this seeing as I'm natively bilingual. At least for me seeing code in English feels fine while seeing code in my other native language would likely be a bit odd (at least theoretically, I don't think I've ever actually seen any code in it).

I feel like this phenomenon sorta extends past code in a way too, I would also find it a bit weird seeing information on my other hobbies that's not in English.
